There's room for everyone
by cyndayco
There is an amazing range of hotels, cottages and hovels. In Boat Station 3, your money goes a long way (and so will you, because it's a long walk to the better bars and restaurants). Boat Station 2 offers bigger rooms and greater accessibility. But for the true paradise feel, stay in Boat Station 1. Sure, the real estate here is expensive, but at the right time of day, you can have the beach all to yourself. Unlike Bali with its many temples and natural wonders, Boracay's main (and some say, only) attraction is White Beach. It's a stretch of ultra-fine white sand that you can cover in 45 minutes, if you can resist the many bars, cafes, shops and massage touts that line it.
Talk - Ilongo
by Skye_Miles
The main language in Panay is Ilongo but, in Boracay, they speak their own language Aklanon, the language of Aklan. Its vocabulary and grammar is a little bit, but not very much, different from Tagalog spoken in Manila.
Beach Volleyball
by Dreks
If you are in groups you can create small teams and play beach volley ball. Volley ball posts are well located along the beach, not sure though about where to get the nets. heheh. Or if you are confident and outgoing enough, or even just for fun, make yourself available and volunteer to join the locals and/or fellow travellers for an exciting fun-filled game. At the least, be a cheerful spectator.
Other parts of the island
by VTShounen
Though most people stick to the west side of the island with the incredible beach, there are lots to do in other parts of the island. Good diving can be had in the north, a quieter beach on the east, horseback riding in the middle, not to mention the village and the people who actually live there permanently.
D'Mall
by joysweet about D'Mall
D'Mall is practically a landmark in the island - being the only organized mall that is. Most of the major retailers and restaurants are here. Lonely Planet - for great souvenier shirts; PJ Arandor (sp?) - for crafts; various restaurants (international selection) for local souveniers, expect to pay 30-40% more than if you get similar items at Talipapa (Station 3)
